-the musical words

Greetings to all, I am Valerie. And herein lies a glimpse of the random and at certain times, inane or insane thoughts that flit through my mind. I love God, music and my books :)

As Wedding bells ring...

Ah, what a glorious day! Today was the wedding. After much fussing over my attire, Mr. Conrad picked me up at 1.30pm and we were off to the wedding venue: Bedok Reservoir Park. Hauling our violin cases to the beautifully set-up marquee, I took notice of our surroundings. Balloons and ribbons were everywhere. It was so beautiful. We then set up our violins, tuned it and tested the mikes.

I pulled my bow over the A-string and accidentally exerted too much force. A awful screech emanated through the speakers and I, carelessly forgetting that the microphone was still switched on and clipped to the hem of my collar, exclaimed loudly in despair "OH MY GOSH". You can just imagine my shock when I heard my voice resounding from the speakers all over the marquee. Immediately, I slapped a hand over my mouth. THAT was SO utterly mortifying.

Anyway, the wedding itself was so beautiful! The bride arrived in a electrically-powered boat, flanked at both sides by two dragon boats, courtesy of Temasek Poly. And as the boat docked at the jetty, Ms Yeow started off the first notes of Canon in D for the bridal march-in.

Then came my favourite part of all weddings: the exchange of vows!! Ah... all the promises to take care of each other in sickness and in health and blah blah blah. Always the sweetest part of all wedding ceremonies, in my opinion that is. I couldn't help but grin happily throughout the entire exchange of vows. The solemniser was really cute when she said "You may now kiss the bride and everyone else please close your eyes." LOL!!

It was a really really sweet wedding. Even the reporters came, for they were the first couple ever to have their wedding at Bedok Reservoir Park. Even though my heels were killing my feet by the end of it all, I was happy =D
